[Solved] iT2D 1.5.1 preview BUG: Games display incorrectly on iPad 3

Platform: iPad 3
Games display correctly upon first loading, however when you load a new scene the game displays in only one quarter of the screen.
In the image below the exact same app is running on an iPad 3 on the left, and an iPad 1 on the right.
On the iPad 3 you can see the word 'tutorial' displayed at the bottom - this is the 'Loading Tutorial' text which displays when the previous scene ends, and it is not overdrawn once the new scene starts.
[edit] - Found a solution. Adding setCurrentCameraPosition(0, 0, 1024, 768) on both the main scenewindow and the second gui scenewindow makes them both draw at the correct size on iPad 1 and on iPad 3.

Isn't this one of the main fixes for 1.5.1?

I don't want to sound like a broken record but GG really needs to rethink their approach to iT2d. I also agree that GG is supposed to be a 'professional' software company... sure doesn't seem so since Brett Seyer left.
Anyway back to your problem. This is just a guess but that looks like maybe something to do with the retina content scale factor?

@Conor - This is exactly why I haven't used any new iTorque since a long time.I don't want to sound like a broken record but GG really needs to rethink their approach to iT2d. I also agree that GG is supposed to be a 'professional' software company... sure doesn't seem so since Brett Seyer left.
